This was probably the most disappointing Skinny Puppy release for me and do don't really agree with most parts of the review. Especially the mentioned songs "Gambatte" and "Brownstone" were painful and unbearably dragging.

^ Are you even a Skinny Puppy fan?!? Brownstone was a great track, very creepy....idk I think people don't like the last few albums because they are either A. stuck in their gawth phase and constantly want morbid and miserable music like Last Rights pt. 2,3,4 etc or B. just do not want to have industrial music progressing or go out of their comfort zone for that genre.



Skinny Puppy has always been an ever changing band, I mean for christs sake back in the late 80's/beginning of the 90's they turned their sound to be very danceable compared to albums like Mind and no one really complained. To be a Skinny Puppy fan is to WANT constant change in style and taking to methods and bending them to the experimental minds of Key and Ogre, not to want music that's just dark for the sake of being dark. I think the new albums are great, some songs even miles ahead of the old stuff in some areas imo...

@ sinsexsodomy- very well put. Their early stuff was almost dark new wave and they have always changed and evolved. I like all their material due to the fact that it isn't always the same.

Underrated album. Skinny Puppy are very good at expressing a deep melancholy and the one on Handover has a very unique flavour. The album feels more like an experimental parenthesis than a classic, but it's a good one.

However, it does have a few cringeworthy moments and samples.

My favourite tracks: Cullorblind, Ashas, Wavy, Ovirt, Vyrusis, Point.
